    4. California wants 840 RFID tags for ID for registration. These tags are OK for genomic and interstate shipment. No herd management # on the tag. Ok to use but 2 tags are also needed to be official. Voted on by delegates and defeated. Board takes no position on it.

YDLI Class 11 Applications Due Aug. 1

Young Dairy Leaders Institute (YDLI) is the cornerstone program of the Holstein Foundation. YDLI is a nationally recognized three-phase leadership and communication skills development program for young adults working in the dairy industry. YDLI's three-phase approach ensures participants develop necessary leadership skills, apply those skills in real-life scenarios, and then focus on the benefits of influential leadership.

YDLI has over 600 alumni that can attest to its merit. The Holstein Foundation is seeking young adults, ages 22-45, with a passion for the dairy industry to apply for the upcoming eleventh YDLI class. Applications are due August 1, 2018 and may be downloaded from the Holstein Foundation website at www.holsteinfoundation.org/YDLI.

Recent graduate Ashley Sears Randle says, “From dynamic presenters and workshops, to the opportunity to network with individuals from the U.S. and world, YDLI reaffirmed and re-energized my passion for the dairy industry. I am now better equipped to tackle the tough questions, share my story with consumers, and work collaboratively with my fellow YDLI Class 10 graduates, advisory board, and allied industry members to affect positive change. We have both the opportunity and challenge to make forward progress as our industry continues to evolve, and I am confident that YDLI has provided me with the skills, knowledge, and connections to make a significant impact."

Dairy producers working with all breeds of dairy cattle, and allied dairy industry members, are encouraged to apply. YDLI Class 11 will have on-site meetings in Phoenix, Ariz. February 6-9, 2019 and February 5-8, 2020.

Phase I is focused on individual leadership and personal development. During Phase II, participants complete a series of assignments in their community, which emphasizes the advocacy and outreach skills gained during Phase I. Phase III features sessions on advanced communications training, influencing public policy and continued advocacy and leadership. Throughout the program, an emphasis is placed on networking with industry peers, a benefit that carries on long after a YDLI class is complete.

“The greatest thing I see YDLI graduates take away is a boost in confidence. We challenge them to do some things they never have before, and when they achieve their goals, it lights a fire in them to do more,” Jodi Hoynoski, Holstein Foundation staff, states.

Join the growing group of individuals who call YDLI the opportunity of a lifetime! Visit www.holsteinfoundation.org/YDLI to download the YDLI Class 11 application, as well as view more detailed information on the program. With questions or for more information, contact Jodi Hoynoski via email jhoynoski@holstein.com, or 800.952.5200, ext. 4261.

Women In Dairy

JUNE MEETING
June Dairy Month Promotion at Ruby's Market, Springfield.


  

What an awesome day we had promoting dairy at our June Dairy Month Promotion in Springfield. Ruby's Market graciously opened their doors and hosted us in their parking lot for the informative event. The group interacted with the public answering their questions and explaining what really happens on a working dairy farm.

Aida Bluel brought her calf Boom for the public to pet and see. She was a big hit as you can see below! Special thanks to the Mid-West Ambassadors Lani Ogle and Ashton Atterberry for assisting with the event. We handed out a lot of informational material and shared our story. It was a beautiful day.



Mesmorized
Never think that people are not interested in what you have to say. Just look at the look on these kids faces!

For July we are going to join the Holstein Field Day, July 24, Barnett, MO.







Missouri 4-H and Missouri FFA Dairy Judging Teams Return from European Contests



Both Missouri 4-H and FFA teams in Luxembourg
The organizer of our home stays and the contest in Luxembourg was Jean-Paul Flemmage and here he is with both teams following the contest.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!


Our team has had a wonderful two weeks traveling across Europe, judging, making new friends, learning about different cultures, seeing agriculture in new ways, and creating memories that will last a lifetime! Just a few highlights of our trip:

Grant Groves and Daryin Sharp were the top judging pair at the Royal Highland Show in Scotland! Grant Groves was the top individual judge, and Blake Wright was the second high individual in this contest.

Blake Wright and Lilly Schmidt of Monett FFA were first and second, respectively, in the Luxembourg Judging Contest.

Lora Wright and Ellie Wantland participated in showmanship at the Luxembourg show.

Daryin Sharp, Ellie Wantland, Lora Wright, Sam Masri and Lilly Schmidt all spent three days with a host family during our time in Luxembourg.

We visited the World War II Memorial site where General Patton is buried just outside Luxembourg City. This was especially meaningful since we visited here just two days before our Independence Day celebration in the US.

We are thankful for the success of our judges during the two contests. We are thankful for the new friends made along our journey, both international and those here in the States. And, we are thankful for the support we received through our many sponsors and donors that helped us be able to participate in this great event.

Thank you to AgroTours for organizing this event. Thank you to Bruce Kane and Darren Ropp for their expert guidance. Until next time! Sincerely,

Karla Deaver and Ted Probert
